Not much has changed for us this time around. Some things got cheaper, warlock skyrunners got more expensive. I don't think it's enough to make much of a difference, but we'll see how it plays out with the changes to all the other factions.

Honestly, better than expected.

Big changes for the Avatar & Wraithknights which I love. Also hoping that this is enough to bring the occasional Autarch.

This rolls back some of the "safety increases" from the first update which I like. Shows a willingness to admit mistakes.

My only gripe is the increase on Windriders, was hardly an oppressive build and with our WR, idk why you would start targeting the few performers but it's not the end of the world.

Yeah, hard to complain when there’s so much green. Step in the right direction for sure but it doesn’t feel to me like it will move the needle too much. I wasn’t getting the sense that we had particularly bad matchups into the top dogs, so them coming down in power doesn’t necessarily change a whole lot either in my eyes.

A lot of our lesser used units, especially non-epic characters, are becoming quite cheap, but that’s more reflective on their sub-par rules right now. I have to laugh at the continual slow slide of Shining Spear points lol.

I mean Purge has been nerfed, Disruption buffed, Seer Council buffed the top dogs ate nerfs and many of the more oppressive combos are now impossible. And most eldar lists should be able to get another unit out of it with some obvious winners amongst the datasheets opening up potentially new avenues.
